This recent eBay auction reminded me of another ‘bass that should have been.’ I’ve always liked the Silvertone 1448 guitar (commonly referred to as the ‘amp-in-case model’), because the style is much more agressive than a typical Danelectro or Danelectro-produced Silvertone. But unlike the U-1/2/3 and DC-1/2 guitar models, the Silvertone 1448 never received a bass counterpart.

In my mind, the bass would have the exact same look as the guitar, except with a 30″ scale and slightly larger body. And of course, it would come with the amplifier case!
Here are some pics of the guitar for reference:

If I wasn’t feeling so lazy right now, I’d photoshop the guitar into a bass. But for now the images above coupled with your imagination will have to suffice.
